Many swine-breeders regard solid earth
floor as the best for a pig pen. 1t must be
high enough TO be readily drained, so as to
be dry at all times 1t is also customary
with some breeders to remove from six te
eight inches Of these earth floors every
spring, drawing the manurc-soaked earth
on to the fields and renewing the floors
with fresh earth.
A farm which is rolling in its surface
seems perfectly adapted to sheep raising.
Such land needs grass on the hill tops &c
keep it from washing and sheep need hill:
tops and short, sweet grass. They like &c
lie down on hill top in the spring, where
the sun makes the ground dry and warm,
and where they are protected from the cold
sweep Of the wind.
There are cows that are naturally good
for nothing, and nothing Can be done with
them but to send them to the butcher.
But there are many valuable COWS among
our natives, and many, indeed, that are
exceedingly fine COWS. II such cows be
well fed and well cared for they will make
good breeders and will be eminently salts
factory for dairy purposes.
Halle brush fares very badly in the sheep
pasture, and wild roses, rag weed, bur-
docks and other weeds are selected first
and then the sheep look for grass. In this
way sheep pasture becomes like beau
tiful lawn, and every year grows better:
but if the farmer overstOcks his fields,
then the grass goes with the bushes and
weeds and the sheep tumble down one
after another and become Improbable.
Perhaps it may be safe to say that the
prejudice against white Short-horns is
slowly dying out in this country. The con-
slant exhibition Of frst-clasS white Short.
horns at our fat-stock shows, and of breed.

convinced many, probably against their

must allow that there is usually a great

Farmers IIeUiep.
We doubt very much whether there ever
was time when SO many farmers wer.
thinking seriously of improving their horse
stock as just now. Figures won't lie, ant
when one kind of a horse sells for two OF
three times as much as another the per
centage Of gain shows clearly where the
profits lie, and all the figures that can be
produced can not change the result. Ii
there is one place above another in which
the gain upon the income of the farm car
be increased it certainly is in Improving
the farm stock, and horses are no excep
ton to this rule.-StocSman.

The potato yield of 1857 has been re-
duced, first by the drought in the West
and later by rot, mainly in the Atlantic
States. 1t is about the same as in 1881, OF
fifty-four bushels average per acre, making
the crop about l34, OO0, 0OO against 163 OOO, O0t
bushels last year.
Fall-made butter is always preferred tc
that of summer, because the weather being
cool the milk is kept at the proper tenn.

dition, making butter of great solidity, and
the grasses that start after the fall rains

AS there will usually be no special hurry,

carry best in boxes.

When in doubt how to best preserve a
tree seed mix it with about twice its bulk
of damp sand, just as it is dug out Of the
bank The seed thus mixed with sand
should be placed where it will be at an
even temperature of few degrees above
freezing. and where mice and other vermin
may not get at it.
A great saving Of fuel, whether it be
wood or coal, may be effected by getting it
to the house before very cold and wet
weather begins and placing it under cover.
No farmer allows winter to approach with.
out providing meat and breadstuffs for the
supply Of the family, but very many neg
lect to provide fuel that is equally as essen
tlal to life and comfort.
Many of those who attempt to raise
forest trees from the seed meet with dis.
from not preserving the seeds
or from not knowing that some
trees ripen their seed In spring or early in
and that these must be sown as
soon as ripe. Success in raising forest
trees from seeds depends upon having the
seeds properly preserved during the
winter. They must not be allowed to get
too dry, nor must the moisture and tenn.
perature be such that termination will be
before they are sown.

CLEVER RoGUERY.
ACase Of HalinEering Defeated by the LAW
Of the Contrast Of C0lors.

A Case Of Malfngering Defeated by the Laws
Of the Contrast Of Colors.
'.Malingering," or the imitation of
disease or disability for the purpose of
evading work or obtaining money, is a
not uncommon form of roguery. Some
times the deception is SO clever as to
be very difficult of detection, but
usually, it may be hoped. the resources
of modern science are sufficient to baf-
de the malingerer. At Metz a short
time ago there happened one of those
accidents which are said to occur occa-
sionally even in the best regulated
workshops A Zimmerman whilst
forging let the tool slip from his grasp.
and it struck his assistant near the left
eye. The injury was of course duly
attended to, and in few days the doc
tors declared the man to be complete
" cured. The man, however. would
not admit the correctness of their
statement, but insisted that he had
lost the power to see with the injured
eye. Specialists examined him and
declared that the organ of sight was
uninjured, but the man steadily MAIN
tanned that they were wrong. Various
experiments were tried without de-
cisive results. Finally, one of the ex-
perts, basing himself upon NJ. Chev-
reul's investigations as to the laws of
the contrast of colors, made a fresh
trial. After writing some words in
green ink upon black screen, he
placed on the nose of the malingerer a
pair of spectacles having a red glass
for the right eye and white glass for
the left eye. '.Now read what have
written" said the doctor, and without
the least difficulty the man read the
words.
"Did you read that with your right
eye?" was the next question. Ger
tainly, for can not see with the left
eye at ALL" "You are mistaken; you
have read this with the left eye. You
can not have read green characters
upon black ground because of the
red glass, for red is a complementary
color of green. and the letters are lost
and effaced in the black ground of the
screen. 1t is therefore with the left
eye and through the white glass only
that you have read what have wrote"
When the case came before the tribu-
nal the reasoning of the specialist was
approved. and the malingerer was de-
feated in his endeavor to obtain COM
pensation for the imaginary loss of
sight in an eye with which he could
still read. -Mdnchester Guardian.

MORAL CONDUCT.
Some Searching Questions and Conesusiv
Answers,

Some Searching Questions and Consecutive
Answers,
How does physical welfare affect moral
conduct!
This question is agitating the minds Of the
best men Of our country. Judges, scientists,
legislators are discussing it in private, as
well as the workingmen, the bankers, and
the clergy.
Our country, like the rest Of the world. is
fast filing up with men having anarchlcal
ideas. and with other social and political
extremists.
May not our morbid tendencies come from
disease of the mind, caused by disease of the
organ, which, in its enfeebled state, diffuses
poison through the system, thus affecting
the brainl
It is long established fact that bodily
disease causes most cases Of insanity and
'softening Of the brain" The medical pro
fession claims that the kidneys are the
principal Notwithstanding organs Of the
body. If they are diseased they do not per
form their proper functions and expel the
poisonous matters. If these are retained
and recirculated through the system they
produce most of our common arrangements.
We have published in our columns, from
time to time. remarkable accounts of resto-
ration to health from all manner Of disease
(even Of insanity, caused as above stated
by the use of Warmers safe cure. There is
no doubt that this is the most popular rem.
edy offered for sale, and from the very best
information we can obtain, the sale of il
continues to increase.
Why is thisl
Public sentiment, as rule, is fair and
Just criterion. We find this safe cure in
the largest cities, and IN the most remote
parts Of the world. Its merits are pro
claimed by the consumers, as well as the
vendors. Miss Carrie L. Wallis Of Bcver-
~, Mass, is reported to have been desper-
ately i'll from general female derange-
ments for years, and to have been restored
to, and kept in excellent health by this
wonderfully popular remedy, and Miss
Lille Stephens Of 1923 Third street, Louis
vile, KY, was raised by it from her death
bed. when her physicians said she was in
durable.
A prominent gentleman, high in official
position, said to US the other day, that if he
was governor, and petition for pardon was
presented to him, he would require thor
ough investigation, as to the physical health
of the criminal at the time the crime was
committed. In view of such facts, the re-
concentrations of such a remedy are well
worth consideration.
The solution of the relation of moral con-
duct to physical health, ought to be well
established in the minds Of all, and our
statesmen should be prepared to meet the
issues growing out of it when they appear.
